There are some real heavyweights rolling up to the Park today, and the weather even (eventually) improves on yesterday's soggy effort. So, it's straight back to business, and that business is drum 'n' bass. Andy C is a pioneering force in one of dance's most enduring popular scenes, and while he'll perhaps never have the genre-crossing appeal of tonight's headliners, on the basis of his set today, he's still got it, easy.
Everybody knows that Pendulum are a bit naff, but there have been few more meteoric and successful rises across the festival circuit in recent years, and you really can't fuck with a tune like 'Slam'. Since that brilliant debut album the stadium dru,m 'n' bass mob have grown into a fully-fledged band and, truth be told, churned out two relatively average albums, but today, they manage to prove that they still belong in the dance scene just as much as they do at Donington or Knebworth. Fair play, boys.
